Hi,

$ cat t.asm
section .text
extern printf
global main
main:
  push ebp
  mov ebp, esp
  push msg
  call printf
  add esp, 4
  leave
  ret

section .data
  msg db 'Hello, world!', 13, 10, 0

section .note.GNU-stack noalloc noexec nowrite progbits
$ nasm t.asm -f elf32 -F dwarf
$ cc t.o && ./a.out 
Hello, world!
$ cc -fuse-ld=gold t.o 
/usr/bin/ld.gold: internal error in relocate_section, at ../../gold/i386.cc:3683
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'll attach "t.asm' and "t.o.gz".
